Problems

The Great Pyramid of Giza is the largest pyramid in Egypt. For the purposes of this problem, assume that it’s a perfect square-based pyramid, with perpendicular height \(140\)m and the square has side length \(230\)m.

What is its volume in cubic metres?

The volume of a pyramid is \(\frac{1}{3}Bh\), where \(B\) is the area of the base and \(h\) is the perpendicular height. What’s the volume of a regular tetrahedron with side length \(1\)?

A regular octahedron is a solid with eight faces, all of which are equilateral triangles. It can be formed by placing together two square based pyramids at their bases.

What is the volume of an octahedron with side length \(1\)?

In the triangle \(\triangle ABC\), the angle \(\angle ACB=60^{\circ}\), marked at the top. The angle bisectors \(AD\) and \(BE\) intersect at the point \(I\).

Find the angle \(\angle AIB\), marked in red.

A circle with centre \(A\) has the point \(B\) on its circumference. A smaller circle is drawn inside this with \(AB\) as a diameter and \(C\) as its centre. A point \(D\) (which is not \(B\)) is chosen on the circumference of the bigger circle, and the line \(BD\) is drawn. \(E\) is the point where the line \(BD\) intersects the smaller circle.

Show that \(|BE|=|DE|\).

The area of the coloured figure equals \(48\)cm\(^2\). Find the length of the side of the smallest square.

Let \(ABC\) be a non-isosceles triangle. The point \(G\) is the point of intersection of the medians \(AE\), \(BF\), \(CD\). The point \(H\) is the point of intersection of all heights. The point \(I\) is the center of the circumscribed circle of \(ABC\), or the point of intersection of all perpendicular bisectors to the segments \(AB\), \(BC\), \(AC\).
Prove that points \(I,G,H\) lie on one line and that the ratio \(IG:GH = 1:2\). The line that all of \(I\), \(G\) and \(H\) lie on is called the Euler line of triangle \(ABC\).

Let \(ABC\) be a triangle. Prove that the heights \(AD\), \(BE\), \(CF\) intersect in one point.

Let \(ABC\) be a triangle. Prove that the medians \(AD\), \(BE\), \(CF\) intersect in one point.

Let \(ABC\) be a triangle with medians \(AD\), \(BE\), \(CF\). Prove that the triangles \(ABC\) and \(DEF\) are similar. What is their similarity coefficient?
